nice jeff!
glad that i am not alone doing the one very careful pass and follow up with de. i just hope that by the end of a month i will be able to have good results with a 2 pass shave. what razor/razors are you starting with? have you started to hone any project razors yet? i know that for me to really get into straight shaving i will have to be able to put a good edge on a blade. hopefully i get the hang of it prior to needing a touch up on my primary blade.

cheers,
ryan
